Only Maine Coons Rescue

Chorizo is a sweet, mellow boy looking for his furever home! This handsome, 1.5-year-old Maine Coon mix was pulled into foster care from a shelter in New Jersey, and he's now living with 3 other OMCR foster kitties in Virginia.

Chorizo is very shy and takes a while to warm up to people, so he needs a really patient adopter who is willing to give him all the time he needs to feel comfortable in his new home. He also would do best in a quiet home, without young children. (Older kids/teenagers are OK as long as they aren't loud.)

Chorizo has started approaching his foster parents and asking for head scratches, but it's only been for a few moments at a time. He's mostly a "sit back and observe" type of kitty — whether he's doing it from across the room or atop the cat tree by the window.

Chorizo loves other cats, however, and he quickly bonded with his fellow fosters. He would enjoy having at least one other playful, easygoing kitty in his adoptive home! (He would probably be fine as a solo cat, though.) Chorizo hasn't interacted with any of his foster family's dogs, who are somewhat boisterous, but he would probably be OK with a very calm dog.

Chorizo is up to date on his vaccinations and is neutered, and he's tested negative for FeLV/FIV. Chorizo always uses the litter box, too — although he's very exuberant when kicking the litter around, so we recommend a covered litter box for him.

Chorizo is located in Burke, Virginia. If you are interested in adopting him, please fill out an adoption application on our website: https://omcrescue.rescuegroups.org/forms/form?formid=6177. You may also e-mail us at info@omcrescue.org if you have any questions or would like to learn more about Chorizo.
